      Review

      Perfect campaign. However, just a few minor optimization issues, that really didn't matter. Other than that loved it. Great map design, new mechanics, insane amount of supplies makes up for three tanks in the first chapter :P, no botnav errors. No glitches/bugs. Nice work.

      Pros:

      More zombies

      Cons:

      Soldiers are practically invincible- the first one is hidden by the headlights, so you can't even see where to shoot. I emptied a whole M16 mag into the general direction of that jeep but nothing hit him.
      Nothing is really new- just increased quantity of the infected and bosses and added super bosses.

      Conclusion:

      The author mistook the shortness of this campaign for blandness, and doesn't know how to make a campaign difficult, yet balanced. After getting two tanks barely 30 seconds apart, I came across a pseudo- invincible soldier. Most of the "About" is wrong- got the same events twice (so there's no random events), and the dialogue was just spammed one liners that really wasn't funny.

      Pros:

      Harder than normal

      Cons:

      The talking scripts were average and poor dialogue choices
      It conflicts with jsut about every custom map going
      Poor optimisation in certaina reas
      Really nothing new here, just a re hash of the original map nto sure why author didnt add more variety to it.
      
      

      Conclusion:

      Overall it was lack lustre and un appealing, there is major optimisation issues and the "funnier" dialogue was dull to be blunt.
      
      Issues with finale, again optimisation issues.
      
      It feels rushed and unpolished, i thinkt he idea was good but the execution in many ways is very underwhelming.

      Pros:

      -Better than the original Crash Course
      -Jets
      -Objects falling off buildings, creates a nice dynamic feeling
      -Old Survivors
      -The generator stops more during the finale

      Cons:

      -Too many hordes
      -Too many tanks
      -Too many witches
      -The flood on Chapter 2 makes no sense, why would a 5 min. shower cause a hurricane-esque flood?
      -The intro dialogue is missing, but I used custom radial menus to fix that
      -The bots like to get shot by the military personel

      Conclusion:

      It's okay.  Some things could have been tweaked here and there, but it was a pretty fun campaign all around.

      Cons:

      fd

      Conclusion:

      Bah, apparently I can't just delete my old review. I'd rather not play this again, because as I understand it, it still has high system requirements to play without lagging the whole time. So I'm just going to give it a 100, and I'm going to report my review as abuse. Maybe that'll get it deleted. If everyone else wants to report this review, maybe it'll get deleted faster :)

      Pros:

       - Attention to detail - virtually no texture / overlays / skin problems to metnion. For a v1 this is great!
      - Maps keep you on the edge with bombs exploding, quasi-destructible environment and damage-causing ligthning :-)
      - Random placement & color of alarm / exploding cars
      - Realistic explosion effects - indoors lights swap and dust  / ceiling bits fall off
      - Excellent talker scripts - unfort not seen on your average addon campaign

      Cons:

      - Framerate drop in some areas - noticeable only if using Fraps tho...
      - Finale may be a bit hard if generator's off in the final stage... KEEP IT RUNNING !!

      Conclusion:

      Can't really fault it. This is what L4d/2 campaigns should be all about... FUN FUN FUN... :-)

      6.5

      Pros:

      - Faithful reproduction of dialogue/level design with a ton of new and exciting twists!
      
      - Enemy fire (a bit tough with all the damage they deal, but a fun concept/challenge nonetheless!)
      
      - Bombing runs
      
      - Exploding cars!
      
      - Freaking BEAUTIFUL weather (the lightning in level 2 is fantastic)

      Cons:

      - Whenever I pass by a flaming barrel at a couple of spots, it's a 50/50 chance that one of the bots will get stuck right next to it, leading that bot to die. To make matters worse, the other bots stay behind and give up their secondary health (pills/shots).
      
      - The intro on the second level (this gets annoying after dying 5 times in a row)
      
      - The 2 ammo caches in the finale make things difficult. When I try to start the generator the third time, the bots will almost always move toward the ammo cache up above the storage room in the garage. While they're reloading up there, the hordes and multiple special infected have a free shot at me. Being defenseless against spitter/smoker/jockey/hunter combos while the bots dork around some 200 feet away with a neverending zombie horde separating us is frustrating to no end.

      Conclusion:

      The intensity for the finale needs to be reduced for single-player mode. Not once have I made it past the finale, despite at least 30 tries. To me, the intensity of the finale completely ruins this campaign. It may be doable for a 4-player co-op, but on my sub-par internet connection, I'm never going to be able to play this with even one other person. I'm willing to download any updates to see how they play out, but aside from that, I'm done with this campaign.
      
      If you're in a similar situation with a slower internet speed, and you're looking for a Crash Course for L4D2, I'd recommend waiting until something else comes along.

      Pros:

      -Nice
      -Original
      -Random events
      -EXPLOSIONS!
      -Hard, long and challenging
      

      Cons:

      -Too many supplies

      Conclusion:

      Other than that, nothing at all. Great modification and porting. :D

      9.7

      Pros:

      -Not just a port, but a complete modification. It's way better than the original one.
      
      -Map destruction.
      
      -Very difficult (some will consider this a con, but I like challenging campaigns).
      
      -Different intro movies.
      
      -Awesome finale.
      
      -Custom weapons, like the Combat Knife and the Police Shield.

      Cons:

      -Needs some updates to improve performance.
      
      -Game crashes sometimes when players die and restart the first map.
      
      -The soldiers/zombies shooting at the survivors from the military vehicles was a great idea, but I'm afraid it's not working well. I shot them like crazy at different points and from different locations, but most of the times it looked like they were invincible and I ended up having to hide from them. Plus, bots don't understand the situation and die/get incapacitated every time. And seeing a zombie handling a weapon is weird, I think it would be better to use a human model.
      
      -I don't think that making two versions of the map available was a good idea; we will need to have both installed since we don't know which one the players will be hosting. Crash Course is a L4D1 campaign, having only the original survivors would be enough.

      Conclusion:

      Great campaign, I strongly recommend it, even for people who didn't like the original Crash Course in the first place. It just needs some updates to improve performance and fix a few bugs/flaws. Keep up the good work.
